Hello Java team, Looking at bug #609152 [1]:
There is a Java application which depends on a JNI library which is only built on a subset of architectures. A bug has been filed against the java package because it is un-installable on the architectures that the JNI library does not exist (since it cannot install the dependency). Although I remember reading somewhere that such a dependency is allowed, I cannot find that reference. Is the current arrangement acceptable, or should this be fixed by making the java application architecture: any (so it won't build on unavailable architectures)? I think it is silly to have multiple identical packages in order to limit the installation to architectures where the library exists, but that will remove the binary package from affected architectures. Thanks, and please CC: the bug and Francesco (the reporter).
